Save Colorado Conservatory of Dance

Hi,

I’m Sandra Parks, Executive and Artistic Director of Colorado Conservatory of Dance—a nonprofit in Broomfield that has served over 9,000 people each year for more than 30 years through education, outreach, and performance.

Today, I’m reaching out with urgency.

Unless we raise $150,000 by the end of July, CCD will be forced to close.

Over the past few years, CCD went through several leadership transitions. During that time, the financial picture shared with our Board didn’t reflect the organization’s true situation. Meanwhile, pandemic recovery has been slow—public funding has declined, and enrollment and ticket sales haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Until this year, there was no long-term plan in place.

Now, we have one.

Our board and staff have worked tirelessly—we’ve cut costs, restructured programs, and developed a clear five-year roadmap to rebuild.

But without immediate support, that plan won’t have a chance to succeed. That’s why I’m asking for your help.

Your support—whether a donation, a low-interest loan, or a community investment—will allow CCD to continue:

• Offering free dance programs at over 10 Title I schools
• Teaching 100+ students each year, from age 2 to 75+
• And presenting professional, inclusive performances—like The Nutcracker—to thousands of families

If CCD has ever touched your life, or if you believe in the power of dance to heal and connect, please stand with us now.

CCD is more than a dance school. It’s a home. A safe place. A space where creativity, compassion, and community come alive.

We cannot do this without you.

Thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for listening, for sharing, and for believing in what we do.
